If you’re reading this, it’s probably
a good sign that you’ve already decided
to start a residential cleaning business. You’ve
got your mind made up. You know this is what you
want to spend your time and energy on for several
years. Starting a business and getting it off
the ground is difficult and painstaking work,
and shouldn’t be taken lightly. So, make
sure you’re committed to your chosen path.
If you haven’t done so already, you might
want to send some time considering various different
alternatives. Ask yourself some questions:
|
| 1) |
Do you have enough capital to launch the
business, and keep it running and growing
during its initial few years? |
| 2) |
Do you have the skills necessary to run
and manage an office? Although it’s
important that you know a thing or two about
cleaning, remember that running a cleaning
business is very different from knowing how
to clean a residence effectively. (See the
book “E-Myth Revisited” for an
interesting analysis of the differences between
making the best apple pies in town and running
a successful chain of apple pie shops.) |
